As I Lay Dying - Upside Down Kingdom Lyrics
Many choose to find their hope in the thoughts of afterlife, when there is none to be found right here before we die.
So I understand the feeling of helplessness, when we are just taught to wait here...wait here for death.
Wait here for death. Wait for this suffering to end.
Wait here for death. Wait here for death. Wait for this suffering to end.
We are not forgotten, for a kingdom is offered beyond that of golden streets.
We can represent now what will one day be complete.
Simplicity is not a curse where strength is humbled and the powerless rise (and the powerless rise).
This is a kingdom born upside-down.
This is a kingdom where the broken are crowned.
Wait here for death. Wait here for death.
The "blessings" of excess are only a burden on us.
It is a broken system where suffering can never end.
Simplicity is not a curse where strength is humbled and the powerless rise (and the powerless rise).
This is a kingdom born upside-down.
This is a kingdom where the broken are crowned... (the broken are crowned).
If helplessness is our system then we're better off upside-down.

As I Lay Dying Upside Down Kingdom Comments
A very strong track off of what I would consider their worst album.
another awesome AILD song
god damit i hate when they start singing that weak azz voice shit
Wasn’t this song in that wwe 2010 game on the psp?
Checking in two years later.
This song got me into as I lay dying, still one of my favorite songs by them (can’t decide between parallels and anodyne sea).
An incredible testament to the skill and beauty of their music.
Soaren Borsari personally I think parallels if it’s between those
Soaren Borsari both very good
This band is so amazing, sad that their reputation is messed cause of the singer
Metallica — The God That Failed
The breakdowns tho!!! 😍😍😍😍
Wish there was still good bands like this around
As I Lay Dying kicks ass and balls period!!🤘😲🤘
Best and Brutally Beautiful
Lyrics:
Many choose to find their hope in the thoughts of afterlife
When there is none to be found right here before we die
So I understand the feeling of helplessness
When we are just taught to (wait here) wait here for death
Wait here for death
Wait for this suffering to end
Wait here for death (2x)
Wait for this suffering to end
We are not forgotten
For a kingdom is offered beyond that of golden streets
We can represent now what will one day be complete
Simplicity is not a curse where strength is humbled
And the powerless rise
This is a kingdom born upside-down
This is a kingdom where the broken are crowned (wait here for death, watit here for death)
The "blessings" of excess are only a burden on us
It is a broken system where we just wait for death
It is a broken system where suffering can never end
Simplicity is not a curse where strength is humbled
And the powerless rise
This is a kingdom born upside-down
This is a kingdom where the broken are crowned (broken are crowned)
If helplessness is our system
Then we're better off upside-down
Absolutely the shit
1:22
Move your fuckinh heads!
The bois are BACK BOIZZZ!!!!!
Can't wait for the glorious music they release next!
As I Lay Dying does not dissapoint. Epic guitar riffs, powerful vocals, beautiful lyrics, and don't even get me started on the drums.
im a guitar guy, but them drums is on point.
I am a drummer so I get what you saying
This album gets better the more you listen to it
Hell yeah it does.
Their double bass is unlike no other
justin baird check out black dahlia murder. Their drummer is intense
Jordan is a helicopter
I was watching Stranger Things and after that find out this song (Upside Down)..I feel like Demogorgon now holy shit!
love your song
f** you upside down kingdom: it was blasting out loud from my huge speaker, me rockin' to it. Suddenly: Silence!
i glance to my speaker and smoke comes out of it!
Thanks as i lay dying, you ripped my speakers xD
Oh shit😆
that dislikes surely come from the kpoopers..
This entire album slays.
Everything ass backwards in this fucked up world but gots to keep going strong cuz of bands like this period and dont give a shit what anyone ele says
when people have no life so they go and complain on death metal songs
Shit yeah AILD kicks ass, badass metalcore and Don't give a shit about Tim doing time, there is always 2 sides to the story period, he did his time and still a badass frontman and it's just awesome lyrics and music
:'( The best band.....
Tim is a fucking beast!
This Is INSANELY BRILLIANT!!!
This album takes me back to summer 2010.... post hs graduation jams
How does this song not have more views? This is my all time favorite AILD song.
1:30 reminds me of X-men's opening :3333333333
as i lay dying (y)

Kyle Burns lol wtf
A letra dessa música é muito linda!!! BR Hue
13 people's kingdoms are upside down.
The number is far higher!
wouldn't that make them like this song?
An “upside down kingdom” is actually a good thing though
are not upside down*
WAIT HERE FOR DEATH
WAIT FOR THE SUFFERING TO END
WAIT HERE FOR DEATH
WAIT FOR THIS SUFFERING END!!!!!!!!
Why such a powerful, loving, all-can-do (except lie) Creator would create Satan to cause this..."corrupt cold-hearted world" and then re-create a new planet earth (in Heaven) the way it was originally designed to be is beyond human comprehension.
Re: It is a broken system where we just wait for death.
It is a broken system where suffering can never end.
I know this hard- life is so short compared to infinity....and this "light affliction" as He calls it will be nothing compared to the glory of His followers in the afterlife. But...whoa! such brutality is inflicted on some people.
And no one will ever suffer like Christ did it is thought. I say "even though He released His power...He was still God. We are only human.
We all live in shackles unseen friend
to the 13 people who didn't like this fuck you!
+Nicholas Johnston from 13 to 12 :') at least one of them realized their mistake
+Ishmam Ahmed YouTube puts the like and dislike button WAY too close to each other.
the riff in the begining remind me a lot of metallica - the god that failed
Munz1998 Totally. Mentioned that to by bro when this came out. A lot of AILD is reminiscent of them, pretty cool.
i miss them 😣😣😣
Not anymore!

man I just laying here listening a bunch of aild and it brings back memories...they were bad ass on stage
+Adam Aguirre :( went 3 times to them..... sold out....... super sad panda. i will probably never see my favorite band on stage. i hope everyone grows up and forgives TIm, then maybe ill have another shot
They back!!

the one time you hear josh's bass besides defender
The Nickster Did you really just reply to your own comment impersonating someone else
What a savage. this guy doesn't give a single fuck.
This intro turned me into a warrior.
Yes, pure MDM intro \m/
I specifically like listening to this opening riff as I join a game on league. Gets me amped.
